Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

[elzimo]

wel i would say that they are just buying time out of this. this just sucks. they think that we have money to spend ova and ova again on a single thing. they think we earn the same as them. they should "time and tide waits for no man". so the time we have lost who will cater for that.

Hi All,
I am a first time poster(not sure if that is the right term).

My husband and I have just made the decision to move to Canada, I am Canadian he is Australian and we have been living in Australia for about 8 years. We have been married for 7 years and have two small children. We are quite excited about the move but very dettered by the waiting period, 10 months is a long time!!! My questions are:
Am I sponsoring my 2 children as well? (the older has her Canadian Citizenship card the younger hasn't got hers yet but both lived in Canada with me for 6 months during my maternity leave)

In the section that asks about your plans once you move to Canada we haven't got jobs or school, or a mortgage as I couldn't get a job and then tell thme I can't start for 10 months??? Is it okay to just say we have extensive family there we can stay with whilst we get jobs, a house etc...

Is there any realy important things I should know when filing out the application?

So happy to have found this forum as I know what a headache it was when I moved to Australia and with through this process here.
Cheers!

Hi my wife and I are in the exact same position as you are.. even down to having 2 small kids .. ( ours were born in Aus.) If you are a canadian citizen by birth then your children will be eligible to be citizens and therefore do not required you to be sponsor for them. You can apply for Canadian citizenship certificates for them if they are eligible.
We also did not have job, school or rental agreements to show as proof of intent to move. To show our intent to establish ourselves in Canada we got our Canadian family to provide a letter verifying that we are planning to move and that they would provide support to allow us to establish ourselves in Canada once we arrived. In lieu of any other proof this should be okay. I also provided a copy of an email that sent to our Canadian family which discussed our planned move.

I'm surprised that Sydney office work quite fast.

I was received AOR from Sydney just only 10 days after SA from mississauga.

Just want to start by giving a genuine congrats to all those getting progress. I really don't want to complain but I just cant see how this is a fair system. My application was in the system at the start of Feb and others who applied after me have been already approved and I've heard nothing?? A few weeks give or take is understandable but 6 weeks and nothing at all. Sorry for negativity, and please know that my comments are directed at their system, but I am really frustrated with the whole thing at this point and can't understand how this system works.

+1 to him, I'm in the same boat unfortunately. Filed my application in Feb, it was transferred to Sydney in March, and my wife received her file number in April. Been a waiting game since

Vik, they don't really help you when you contact them, either the reply is that someone is looking at your application or they ask you to wait until the full processing time is completed.

I'm thinking of ordering CAIPS notes, maybe I get something.
